Dec 20 Banding!



Recommended Posts

I heard back from the doctor today and I get banded on December 20! Anybody else too?

I am excited and nervous- I start my pre-op diet tomorrow. I'm going out with my boyfriend for dinner tonight :(

... never mind. :rolleyes:

My date got canceled last minute. They called me at 10:30 last night to tell me not to come in at 6:00 am like they had planned

I feel like crap. It's because my father had a bad reaction to anesthetic and nearly died. Now I might have to wait up to a month more for my banding. :(

What a horrible let down! I think I would have been too upset to even get out of bed today! We're here for you if you need to talk/vent/scream. Let us know about a rescheduled time.

Oh- I haven't.

The doctor said he would call at 8:00 am this morning to discuss planning another, but no call yet ...:faint:

:clap2:had surgery thursday.. Got to see the band this morning as they did contrast x-rays before they would let me drink anything...It was very different to see that wrapped around my stomach.

I am uncomfortable and getting up and down isn't much fun but other than that I am doing oK. But then again I am sure the morphine they were pumping into me helped out quite a bit.

I have gas-x and peppermint tea to help out with the pressure..

My shoulder hurts but from reading on here- it is just gas.

WIsh me luck ladies and I will catch up later this week when I am little better.

Congrats! Please post your progress as my surgery is on the 28th and I try to read as much as I can from the post-ops. I hope everything goes well from now on!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
